One of the most fun folf courses you'll ever play!

Been playing here on vacation from Scotland for 30+ years. It's quite short by modern standards but a wonderful, challenging layout with lots of water in a simply beautiful setting. Challenging tee shots and small greens it's one of a kind. The staff are always superb and the clubhouse facilities match the course. Amazing recovery since it was hit by hurricane Ian. If you are in SW Florida simply don't miss it! We will be back.........

Short Course, Great People

Couldn’t even tell the course suffered a hurricane, but the current drought is pushing on the back nine. When I say it’s pushing, there’s a few spots of burnt grass but nothing to fret from. It’s natural for any area with a drought. The front nine was in great condition. Course really forces you to hit straight and tests your chips with elevated greens. We had a ton of fun and pace of play this time of year is up to you. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating and the pro shop has everything you’d forget or need to replace.

Dunes

They have done a remarkable job of getting this course back to almost as good as it was prior to the terrible hurricane,Ian. The front 9 are very good and the back 9 should be equally as good as the growing season continues. The staff in the clubhouse are very grateful for players coming to the course.

Worth the trip

Driving across the causeway to Sanibel Island is worth the trip. The course has been reconditioned and everything is plush. What a fun golf course back 9 gets a little harder, which is Fine with me

Hurricane Ian can't keep these guys down!

We were forewarned the conditions might not be the best, after Ian devastated the island Sept 28, 2022. Our first island visit, since the hurricane, our expectations were low, but the "little course that could" is back! Greens and tees were in great shape, and other than a few spots here and there, the fairways were excellent too. As a low single digit handicap, I was concerned about the length; however, there is plenty of challenge here. Pops (aged 90y) and I had a round with a local member and had a blast. Additionally, the golf pro helped me transfer my GN tee time from Tuesday to Friday after Shipstick/FedEx let my clubs sit in Ft Myers for 2 days, without charging me an extra fee - outstanding customer service! The only review category that gets dinged is the green fee; $130 seems more appropriate IMO.

Back at the Dunes

First time back after recovery from Ian. With 2 gal friends as my friend is rebuilding her condo unit. Pleasantly surprised in the shape of the course. Found out through other reviews all 18 are currently open. We thought greens , and fairways were in great shape. You can see trees missing and mangrove areas that were devastated from hurricane. That did not affect the wonderful recovery efforts put back into this beautiful and challenging course.. highly recommend playing on Sanibel at the Dunes. Beautiful redone Proshop, friendly and helpful staff as well.

Russ

Course is somewhat gimmicky a couple unfair tee blocks from the blue and black tees. Greens need a little work some rough spots for the money. And greens were very slow maybe a 4 on the stemp meter. Wonderful staff great carts.
